The Smith Family Farm... eight children lived in this home at one time!


The family gathered around the table often to read from The Holy Bible.


Upstairs room where Joseph saw Moroni for the first time.




Joseph's oldest brother Alvin's home. This is where Joseph first brought the Plates.

On a beautiful Spring morning, Joseph walked from the back door of his small log home and into a grove of trees. We too had the chance to walk through The Sacred Grove on a beautiful Spring day. It was so peaceful.






Abby couldn't resist touching a leaf. Unfortunately, she pulled it off the tree before we could stop her. Sorry!




Rocks are still in place where the Smith family had a fence from their farm through the grove to keep their animals from straying.
